I wish you only good health & happiness!”

Madhuri’s mother had collaborated with her to record a song for ‘Gulab Gang’ back in 2013. Anubhav Sinha, a filmmaker, recounted the event to IANS, saying,“When we approached Madhuri to sing a song in the film, she happily agreed to do so. When she came for the recording, she came with her mom and we discovered her mom is a very good singer. So we asked her mom if she could sing a song. Eventually, we got both Madhuri and her mom to sing a song in the film.”
Meanwhile, in the Worli area of Mumbai, Snehlata Dixit’s final rituals will take place between 3-4 pm at Vaikunth Dham.
